Although it’s now November there were plenty of sheep forward today at CCM’s fortnightly sale of Store & Breeding sheep held at Skipton Mart. Store lambs saw a greater proportion of smaller wintering lambs but trade for these was quite strong with cows going inside and ground becoming clear to graze with sheep. Strong lambs also found good favour with buyers but smaller lambs would look the better sold.
